Zero install to me means “a renter can use it”. It could hijack your faucet outlet with a valve but allow your faucet to work anyway. This would require usually no tools or at worse a screwdriver to tighten a clip.

Well, the only real change that’s not easily reversible one might make when installing most of these units is if you don’t already have a hole to mount the faucet in. A renter definitely shouldn’t drill a hole in a countertop and most r/o units would require one. Any house built in the last few decades would probably have a built in dish soap dispenser you could pop out, but if not, no luck. Other than that just basic hand tools are involved. I would have no problem installing one in a rental but I’m also comfortable with plumbing. It’s definitely a job that seems a lot more intimidating than it is.

    Not really sure why the informative sibling reply to my question is dead (and thus can't be replied to), but I wonder if that hole is what the air switch for my garbage disposal is mounted in...

  I’ve found that landlords are usually completely fine if you tell them you’ll install it and they get to keep it when you move out. Can be worthwhile depending on how long you plan to live in your apartment
